NAMM 2025: Budget champion Harley Benton has introduced a brand-new signature model – the Guitar MAX Fusion Signature – in collaboration with heavy metal guitarist and YouTuber Maxxxwell Carlisle.

The Guitar MAX Fusion Signature features a bolt-on neck design with a 25.5” scale length, a Nyatoh body with wooden binding and an ultra-flame maple veneer, and a Floyd Rose 100 tremolo with a locking nut, which, according to Harley Benton, “keeps the tuning in check” even with “the most vicious

use.”

Other specs include a roasted flame maple neck with a classic reverse headstock and fingerboard. The neck boasts a modern “C” profile, while the fingerboard has a flat 12” radius and is loaded with 24 stainless steel medium jumbo frets.

Rounding off the Guitar MAX Fusion Signature’s specs are Tesla Plasma-X1 and Tesla Plasma-RS2 pickups in the bridge and neck positions, respectively – delivery “screaming leads to funky rhythms, and everything in between.”

and a coil-split single-coil-style voice for added tonal versatility. To top it off, the guitar comes in a “striking” Emerald Green finish that is sure to turn heads.

The popular YouTuber had previously addressed concerns about his signature model and debunked myths surrounding the brand, which is owned by *******-based retailer Thomann.

He clarified that his

“My signature guitar and the Fusion series, and certainly all of the guitars that have roasted necks and things like that – those are all Indonesian-made.”

He also addressed the confusion surrounding the Harley Benton brand, clarifying that the name was chosen simply because it sounded good – and was not modeled after a particular founder.

Despite this, it is clearly cementing its position in the budget-friendly guitar market, most recently announcing an all-new twin humbucker S-style
